Flannery O’Connor’s “Everthing That Rises Must Converge” – A reading & commentary

by Dr. White on julio 31, 2024

Here Dr. White makes passing reference to O’Connor’s affection for the films of W.C. Fields, as he segues into a discussion of “Everything That Rises Must Converge.” White characterizes this story as frightening, and one in which O’Connor presents an empty, dead world wherein she deals with intellectual pride and the racism of the deep South in a bygone era.
